The Shifter is a 450 ore crate capacity mining ship with a spacious interior allowing for multi crew operations. The controls, tools and features are similar to the Stocker. The blueprint is provided for free. All feedback is welcome and in game tips (in-game name Egomaniac) are appreciated. However support will be limited but I will try my best.

Please give the ship a "like" if you use and enjoy the ship.
